Quick Setup Guide

Important Setup Advice
∞Power Line Adapters units may only be used on the same electrical circuit in a home. Most homes typically
have one circuit for lighting and another for electrical outlets, but large homes may have two circuits for
electrical outlets.
∞Using a double adapter or a power board in your setup is not recommended.
∞Each adapter requires at least 5cm clearance below the power socket to allow for an ethernet cable. It is
not suitable for very low mounted wall sockets.
Setting up with a Power Line Adapter
Your two Power Line Adapter units are already paired with each other. If you run into any issues, check out the
"Pairing the Adapters" instructions later in this guide.
PLEASE NOTE: You can use a Power Line Adapter to connect any ethernet-compatible devices with
your modem, such as a computer or gaming console. In our instructions, we've shown you an iiNet TV
with Fetch set top box as an example.

Setting up with a Power Line Adapter
1. Pick up one of your Power Line Adapter units and plug one end of an ethernet cable into its ethernet
port.
2. Plug the other end into an available LAN port on your modem, and then plug the adapter into an
electrical outlet.
3. Pick up your other Power Line Adapter and plug one end of an ethernet cable into its ethernet port.
4. Plug the other end into the ethernet port on the device you wish to connect to your modem (e.g. iiNet
TV set top box).
5. Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet. If you haven’t already done so, make sure the electrical outlets
for both adapters are turned on. The Power lights will turn on.
6. All done! When both adapters have a connection with each other, the Data lights will turn on. When data
is transmitting between the adapters, the Data lights will turn green.

ethernet device via the Power Line adapters. It does not indicate the speed of your internet service.

Pairing the Adapters
1. If the Data lights don’t illuminate when your Power Line Adapters are turned on, you may need to pair or
reset the adapters.
2. You’ll find the Security Reset button on the base of each adapter, next to the ethernet port.
3. Make sure both adapters are plugged in and turned on. On one adapter, press and hold the Security Reset
button for less than three seconds.
4. This will put the adapter into “search mode”. Search mode lasts for two minutes.
5. On the other adapter, press and hold the Security Reset button for less than three seconds.
6. Wait while the adapters find each other. If they have paired successfully, the Data light on each adapter
will illuminate.
7. If you’re still having trouble, please contact our Support Team using the contact information on the back
of this guide.
Please Note: Holding the button for longer than 10 seconds will cause the adapter to reset to factory
default settings.
